Any early-January look ahead to the year in international politics would be incomplete without acknowledging the boldest diplomatic move of the year just ended.

Hugh Fitzgerald: What do we want in the Muslim lands?
The multifarious geopolitical messes in the Middle East, the almost comical variety of resentments, hostilities, mutual denouncements, and hatreds in the Muslim lands that are presented to us each day on some news channel’s platter, the confusion worse compounded that overcomes us when we look at any part or aspect of the Camp of Islam […]
Reza Aslan wants to see a Muslim “All in the Family”; will he play Meathead?
“I’m waiting for a Muslim ‘All in the Family.’ Muslims are never going to feel like a part of the American family until people start to make fun of them on TV. That’s how minds have always been changed in this country.” Really? Can he give us a single other example of a group that […]

Canadian PM: We won’t bomb the Islamic State even if attacked

London Mayor: Worried about Islamic jihad terror? Remember the Alhambra
Johnson’s tortured reasoning here appears to be that, well, see, Muslims made a great civilization in Europe once, and so they may do it again, instead of simply mounting jihad terror attacks and promising imminent takeover. Very well. Maybe they will, but there doesn’t seem to be much genuine intellectual ferment among Muslims in the […]
